I mean, bruh, can't you see that you're proving my point? My initial question to you was something like, "what would you say to a balanced crusher that you saw open A2s UTG in a 9 handed game?" to which your reply was something like, "I'd say they're overdoing it with regard to balance."
Your assertion is that there are rare/concocted cases where it could be ok. You're not opening your mind to the idea that your assertion could be incorrect. What if the balanced crusher was making this play often because he has some new information that you don't? You don't seem to be able to even consider that possibility. That's my point.
In the OP, opening A4s is not too loose in the slightest.
Who cares if you've derailed this thread to a pre flop discussion? Pre flop is the most important street IMO and it should be discussed ad nauseam. Pre flop is where Nits and TAGs make most of their money, by playing fewer hands than their opponents.
